Thes Overall Level Of Intelligent Functioning On The Wisc Iv

Lina’s overall level of intelligent functioning on the WISC-IV was in the Very Superior range (Full Scale IQ=13; 98th percentile). There were no significant differences between the indices, the FSIQ is considered an accurate estimate of her current function.
